Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is an unusual tumour.
The clinicopathological data of 67 patients with ICC and combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-ICC) are presented.
HCV-HBV infection was present in 37.3% and chronic liver disease in 38.7% of cases, a rate higher than in the normal population; in these patients the cancer was small, often asymptomatic and of combined type. Liver resection was performed in 51 patients; at 1, 3 and 5 years, overall survival was 87.9%, 59.0%, and disease-free survival was 47.7% and 78.8%, 51.4%, and 46.7%, respectively. The better results were in the group of cirrhotic patients in whom ICC was diagnosed by a screening program for HCC (5-year survival 76.6%). Nodal metastasis showed negative prognostic value for both overall and disease-free survival; in N+ patients mean survival was 14.7 months after liver resection and lymph node dissection.
Viral infection and cirrhosis may be considered risk conditions for ICC and combined HCC-ICC; in resected patients survival was good. Nodal metastases must not be considered a contraindication for liver resection.
肝内胆管癌(ICC)是一种罕见的肿瘤。
介绍了67例肝内胆管癌及肝细胞-胆管癌合并症(HCC-ICC)患者的临床病理资料。
37.3%的病例存在HCV-HBV感染,38.7%的病例存在慢性肝病,这一比例高于正常人群;在这些患者中,癌症较小,通常无症状且为合并型。51例患者接受了肝切除术;1年、3年和5年的总生存率分别为87.9%、59.0%,无病生存率分别为47.7%、78.8%、51.4%和46.7%。通过肝癌筛查程序诊断出ICC的肝硬化患者组结果较好(5年生存率76.6%)。淋巴结转移对总生存和无病生存均显示出负面预后价值;在N+患者中,肝切除和淋巴结清扫术后的平均生存时间为14.7个月。
病毒感染和肝硬化可能被视为肝内胆管癌及肝细胞-胆管癌合并症的危险因素;接受手术切除的患者生存率良好。淋巴结转移不应被视为肝切除的禁忌证。
